is paul ryan now the de facto head of the gop? >> well, you know, actually, martin, i think he has been much more influential than people realize -- >> because he's been quite quiet publicly. >> going back to 2011. he has so much respect within that republican caucus. he's the guy who killed simpson/bowl simpson/bowles. he was on the simpson/bowles commission and wasn't willing to have any revenue increases. his fingerprints were not on it. and then when it came to the grand bargain, he told john boehner wait until the election. don't do this deal. so this is more of the same from him in his own relatively quiet way because he is much more intelligent than a lot of the other members. he does wield a lot of influence. what he's trying to do here is not just kick the can down the road but to kind of institution institutionalize basically a water torture for the country where we would be going through this potentially month after month after month. >> yeah. jared, it was reported today that the country saw another drop in unemploymen

not so much attacking paul ryan. i could go either way on that, but attacking the callousness and the coldness in that governing vision. >> also bringing it back to a set of values that are truly fundamentally american, tying it in -- >> we're just watching, as you can see, karen, the vice president and dr. jill biden -- >> look like they're going to the viewing station. >> they are. and they're walking up. >> i wasn't sure if they would be able to get the vice president off the parade route. >> he was certainly having a great deal of fun. sorry, karen, the rebukes continued with the president saying things like name calling is not a reasoned debate. so that's good night to rush limbaugh. he said an oath to god and country, not to party and faction. so that's good night to eric cantor. and some may deny the overwhelming judgment of science, but none can avoid the devastating impact of raging fire. that's good night to those republicans who don't believe in science. there was a critique, was there not, of his politica

, let's go back to paul ryan. why are he and so many other republicans only opposed to aid when it doesn't benefit them? because paul ryan voted for flood insurance for his district, for instance, and your publication today has a story of how tim huelskanp's won't allow aid to people sleeping in their car in new jersey. >> the republican party is a regional party mostly the south and somewhat in the midwest. and they don't like the northeast. you know, pete king kind of -- he said as much. he told republicans stay out of the northeast. he told donors who live in new york, stop giving to republicans. you know, that's more or less what is driving this. >> dyson, i thought to a republican raising taxes was the most distasteful thing a person could do, yet almost twice as many house republicans voted for the fiscal cliff deal as did aid for aides of hurricane sandy. does that mean that helping the needy is twice as bad as raising taxes in their collective minds? >> absolutely. that's the mathematics of misery for the

do you expect we'll hear paul ryan try to justify his opposition to flood relief once again? >> you know, i think that the debate is really going to circle around whether or not we're going to cut other things in order to pay for this relief. i actually feel pretty confident that we're going to be able to fend off a number of these crazy amendments that are there, but the question is how much of the remaining $50 billion is going to have to be offset somewhere else? and i think it's absolutely outrageous that they consider that these are all emergency funds. these are people who have been waiting since october 29th, and so i feel actually pretty confident that we're going to be able to pass something that is worthwhile. but the debate is going to really be awful. >> let us hope so. representative jan schakowsky, jonathan alter, thank you so much. >> thank you. >>> coming up, we'll "clear the air" but first hampton pearson has the cnbc market wrap. >> we had a mixed bag monday on wall street. the dow up 19 points. the s&p losing a point. the nasdaq down by 8 points. that's it
